Heck, there may be some places you have heard of, and we’re simply here to jog your memory. Go on an adventure this weekend – we’ll inspire you to head to these hidden gems in Nashville.
- Two Rivers Park

- McCabe Park
Stacey Kizer / Flickr This Sylvan Park gem is tucked behind the neighborhood, boasting a solid trail and wonderful golf course. Plus, the community center offers all sorts of classes!
- Fort Negley
Nvitkus / Flickr This historic spot lies smack dab in the middle of an industrial area, but the trails and gorgeous greenery should be enough to get you strapping on those sneakers.
- War Memorial Plaza

- Nashville Public Library
Robert Claypool / Flickr This library is positively gorgeous. A stunning open expanse with huge windows, and a courtyard perfect for a bit of a read.
- Love Circle
Sean Davis / Flickr The local lover’s lane is well-known for the stunning view on the perfect, high perched hill above the city. Once you find it, you’re golden.
- Tennessee State Prison

- Mammoth Cave National Park
Michael Hicks / Flickr Is this in Nashville? No. Will it give you a solid Saturday adventure? Um, YES. Located about ninety minutes from the city, Mammoth is a perfect getaway for those of you who are looking for a natural escape.
- Shelby Bottoms Greenway
Anthony Jones / Flickr You have most likely visited Shelby Park for a Little League game, but have you ever made your way to the greenway? Yeah, it’s as great as it sounds. Plus, views of the river!
- Radnor Lake State Natural Area
Michael Hicks / Flickr Located in Brentwood, Radnor is a bit of heaven away from the crazy. You’re looking at a twenty minute drive out of the city, and an infinite amount of peace and quiet.
